Automatic rod driver : TUNNELMATIC
The TUNNELMATIC allows the automatic and regular installation of hoops and the creation of the tunnel in a single pass. It removes the effort and physical strain required by the manual installation method.
To overcome meteorological conditions, protect your crops, and ensure their optimal growth, the TUNNELMATIC marquee hoop setter is an essential tool in market gardening. It allows for the automatic and regular placement of steel or fiberglass hoops, creating a tunnel in a single pass! No more physical efforts associated with manual installation!
To adapt to your activity, the range of hoop setters offers 5 models and 2 templates based on the space required by your plantations.
Loaded into a hoop magazine using a jib, they are guided, arched according to the chosen template at the time of purchase, and planted using pneumatic cylinders. A programmable controller allows you to choose the spacing for regular installation. The tractor’s forward speed, proportional to the chosen spacing, can go up to 2 km/h for high efficiency.
2 in 1, the greenhouse hoop setter is equipped, depending on the chosen model, with a system for unrolling plastic film with perfect tension for the creation of market gardening tunnels. This action is done in a single pass simultaneously with the placement of hoops, allowing the operator to save time on other essential tasks.
